Special Educational Needs and Disabilities at Chiltern Primary School

Our Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) is Chloe Finlay-Black.

At Chiltern Primary, we are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed. We understand that all children learn in different ways and may need varying levels of support throughout their time at school. Whilst building strong relationships and high-quality teaching is the foundation of our approach, some pupils may require additional support to reach their full potential. When this is the case, a child may be identified as having a Special Educational Need and/or Disability (SEND), and we will work in partnership with families to put the right support in place.

We are proud to offer an inclusive learning environment where individual needs are understood and respected. Most support comes from our skilled and caring staff within the classroom but we also work closely with a range of external professionals when specialist advice or input is needed.
